Free Energies of Reaction from Reduction Potentials: Oxidation of Lactate with Fe3+ (ferric ion).
A)Under standard conditions , will the oxidation of lactate using Fe3+ as electron acceptor prove energetically favorable? What is the change in free energy associated with the complete oxidation of lactate to carbon dioxide by Fe3+? (Assume reduction of Fe3+ to Fe2+) Given information pe0=-0.68 (My knowledge about this is: p
